or maybe just the fan on the graphics card if you are lucky .. but then it would show some screen at first and lose it later

another issue could be the graphics card : if thats broken then the monitor gets the power, but no signal from the pc and you get this message

try the monitor on another computer to check the monitor itself

if it works try another cable between your computer and your monitor
if that still doesnt work then my guess is that your graphics card is broken :(

Относно: fx plc (mitsubishi)
we have an fx3 plc (mitsubishi) with a program in it
we want to review the code in the plc with the code on our server
(there is some confusion about the running version) but the fx3 plc is keyword protected

there is a program called keyread which can read the keycode from the plc
http://idownload.ws/Keyread/view.html

but when i try to download the program it only gives me a .zip file with a .doc file telling me that its not available anymore

i am looking for another mirror where the program might still be available, but i cant find any

does anyone know this program and where i can still download it ?
or does anyone maybe have this program ?

hotmail works fine in chrome .. it just gives a warning in which you can click to continue

i am using the old fashioned version of hotmail though, so i am not sure about the new version

facebook has quite some troubles with chrome .. much of the actions in the 'applications' in facebook dont work

one weird thing : when i use my scrollwheel it works fine on some pages (for example the search results of google) but backwards on other sites (like brainking and hotmail) .. when i scroll up my page goes down and vice versa :)

Относно: pda to rs232
hi,

i need a cable from any pda to rs232

we used to use a hp/compaq ipaq pda with the following cable: http://www.pdashop.nl/product-gallery/11573/0

these pda's arent available anymore though .. so we need to switch ...

the software we use on the pda's (written by me so i could change it a bit) uses com1 (rs232 port)

the current pda's seem to use mini usb ... so i am now looking for a mini usb to rs232 converter .. which i cant find :(

i can find a lot of usb to rs232 converters (which i use in another project without any problems) ... but i couldnt find a pda with plain usb on it yet .. and i am not sure wether the driver for these usb-rs232 converter will work on windows mobile

does anyone have any ideas ?

maybe the other sites have different files for each page while brainking uses something else (i think :)) ?

i play a lot of backgammon games, quite some battleboats (didnt play ludo for a few weeks though), and some more games, but everything looks as it should for me

MadMonkey: blaming ms always works :)
i know on my old machine at home (win98se, 400mhz, 128mb ram) i do have problems with refreshing, when i go to a game which i played previously (and i havent cleared the cache) then i might see the old board as it was at that time (although i can be several moves further as i might have played those moves at my machine at another computer) .. also when i go to the discussion boards i might see old messages as new (and new ones missing)

pressing F5 (or even ctrl-F5) solves this .. therefore i think its a cache problem

the battleboats-as-dice problem seems a bit like this

of course your machine is a bit better than my older machine .. but maybe brainkings load increased a bit causing this to happen with not-so-old machines as well ? or maybe the traffic is routed differently making data arrive slower and the browser grabs the (wrong) cache files? .. i am not sure if last scenario can happen though :)

gambler104: go to your network connections, right click on the connection you want to use, but which doesnt work, and click on 'reset' (i hope thats the english term they used :)) .. or turn it off in that screen, and when its off, turn it on again

if you want to use your wireless connection, be sure its turned on in network connections

maybe your router doesnt allow the mac addres of your laptop ?

are you trying to connect to another computer from your laptop ? or are you trying to use the internet connection of that other computer ? or are you trying to connect to the network via a router ?

it did work when you had the lan cable connected ? but it doesnt now that you are trying to do it wireless ?

Относно: Re: C# serial port sends only 3F above 7F ?
Променен от Hrqls (7. юли 2006, 08:58:59)
Hrqls: the encoding classes wont help me .. i need to send 1 byte which has to hold characters from ascii value 0 to ascii value 255 .. the only encoding class which sends only 1 byte is the ascii encoding which sends the 63 (3F) when i try to send a character with ascii value of 128 or higher

but! (yeah! ;)) i can also send the string or character array as a byte array ... which then bypasses the encoding class (or simply doesnt need it)

this works! ;)

so for the loop to send all characters with ascii value from 0 to 255 i now use :

byte[] bytArray;
bytArray = new byte[256];
for (int intI = 0; intI <256; intI++)
{
bytArray[intI] = (byte)intI;
}
comKAR.Write(bytArray, 0, 256);



which works flawlessly

thanks for the help and ideas .. it set me on the right track and made it work :)

Hrqls: i found something!!


By default, SerialPort uses ASCIIEncoding to
encode the characters. ASCIIEncoding encodes all
characters greater then 127 as (char)63 or '?'.
To support additional characters in that range,
set Encoding to UTF8Encoding, UTF32Encoding, or
UnicodeEncoding.


before i open the port i will try

comKAR.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;

hexkid: thanks

that would be nice .. but i think the receiving side has to receive decode the 7 bits back to 8 bits again and i have no control over the receiver side

will have a look though, it might be a solution :)

Относно: Re: C# serial port sends only 3F above 7F ?
Mr. Shumway: yes thats what i thought as well .. but it only occurs with characters with an ascii value of 128 (80) or higher .. and with all of them .. so it cant be an accidental loss of data

the databits are set to 8 in my program
i dont know how to check the databits of the serial port on the ipaq though .. it doesnt have a real serial port .. it uses a special cable to the normal connection on the ipaq (which normally ends in an usb connector :))

maybe the cable cant handle 8 databits ? but that would be weird as its serial data and not parallel so the data itself shouldnt matter

that leaves the driver (which is a default driver as i didnt have to install anything) or the serialport control in c# (or the functions i use to control the serialport) ?

i am making the application for an ipaq (windows mobile 5.0)
i am using c# (i am more experienced in vb6, but i need c# for the ipaq)

i just found out that the 3F character is sent when a parity error occurs
so maybe thats the problem ?

i made a lot of application which used the serial port (all with vb6 though, and 1 with c#) and i never got a parity error (maybe i was just lucky ;))

can anyone explain to me when a parity error might occur and what might cause it ?

any ideas are welcome as it will offer me something more to test and check and continue from

thanks in advance ;)

i hope anyone can help me

i am trying to send a string of characters (ascii codes 0 to 255) over the serial port using the SerialPort control in C# (vs 2005 pro)

the characters arrive nice and sweet ... up to 7F, the characters with ascii code 80 and higher (hex) are sent as 3F all the time (as soon as the 8th bit is used 3F will be sent)

does know anyone what could cause this problem, and maybe how it can be solved or done otherwise ?

i am using the code below :

string strMsg = "";
for (int intI = 0; intI <256; intI++)
{
strMsg += Convert.ToChar(intI);
}
comKAR.Write(strMsg);

WARNING! dont ever delete the file NTLDR!


this morning i was cleaning up my computer at work and deleted the file NTLDR. I should not have done so!

after that i rebooted and got the message :
NTLDR is Missing
Press any key to restart


i couldnt even get into the boot menu (safe mode).

i could create a boot disk, and then boot up from there .. but that wouldnt allow me on the NTFS disk c: where i deleted the file.

i tried to do a recovery via the windowsxp cd, but i needed the admin password for that (which i had entered 3 or more years ago and didnt write down (yeah i am a fool :))

so i was badly stuck!

Here i found a free bootdisk which allowed me to read the ntfs partition, but i couldnt write to it

Here i found a boot disk which contained the NTLDR file, but still i couldnt get to my NTFS partition

Then i found This bootdisk!! this allowed me to boot up and even copy to the NTFS system

be sure to use 'copy ntldr c:\' with the backslash, otherwise it wont work

i am a happy person again :)

the mouse works perfectly when i have removed it from the usb hub and plugged back into the usb hub when the pc has boot up .. so the usb hub is working perfectly

the only problem that occurs is right after booting up .. my mouse doesnt work .. somehow because it doesnt see it through the hub when the mouse isnt plugged in while the pc is running already .. it has something to do with the order of startup .... but i cant find a way to change that
